16 oz can

Pours cloudy berry purple, pink head dissipates to a lacing.

Aroma of fresh mixed berries, pomegranate, and cracker malts.

Flavor is raspberry, blueberry, grape, pomegranate, plum, cream, vanilla, and lactose.

Full, thick body with a creamy texture. Tingly carbonation on the tongue.

Tasty and creamy, lots of good fruit flavor in this. The addition of the vanilla and sweetness balances out the fruit flavors so it never becomes very tart. The aftertaste is unfortunately a bit medicinal, but otherwise it's really good and enjoyable. Worth trying and I would like to have more from this series.

16oz can into a pint glass. NO freshness dating.

Soft thick reddish pale maroon colored body. Small white head doesn't stick around for long, but still manages to leave a layer of lacing early on.

Delicious fruit aromas of raspberry and plum. Also manages to smell tart.

On tasting, well, my goodness Drekker certainly knows their stuff. Plum and raspberry flavours are strong but not overpowering. Pomegranate is in there somewhere. Tart and sweet. Lactose and vanilla used, but they don't coat the tongue the way other beers do. Artfully crafted.

Mouth full, finish tartly fruity with a sweet edge.

Overall, another full flavored fruit forward beer from Drekker. Loving this stuff.

Drekker Braaaaaaaains Double Fruit Smoothie Sour - Raspberry/Pomegranate/Plum, 7.8% ABV. Pours murky red with a two-finger pink head, with the puree leaving residue instead of lacing. Nose is raspberry and plum. Taste follows plus lactose, moderately sweet, slightly tart, light bitterness. Excellent thick and smooth mouthfeel, overall outstanding.

Can. Chunky pink head. Raspberry color. Chunky.

One of the best brains. Love the plums in this. Lots of lactose and vanilla creaminess. Very fruity. Light tartness from the raspberries. Another Jamba Juice beer, but I love it.
